I consider it unfair that I worked hard for 35 years of my life then, at the age of 50, was made redundant from a large insurance corporation when they “got rid of the “old” people!”I had good appraisals from my former employers yet neither agencies nor permanent employers wanted someone my age. I went to the Jobcentre after temporary work fizzled out (I tried several agencies) and they only paid me for six months as I had too much in my savings account (it was money which my late parents left me to maintain the house which I had previously struggled to save up for then pay the mortgage and other bills). As I was doing voluntary work and had this money I signed off from the Jobcentre as no paid work was forthcoming. It lasted three years before I was persuaded by a friend to go back to the Jobcentre as my money was running low. I had a small part-time job for our church by that time, only a couple of hours per week, but it helped. I declared the job as I was being paid by cheque – I was horrified to find that my Jobseekers’ Allowance was Income Based as I hadn’t paid in N I during the previous two years! I was standing on my own two feet financially during that time and not claiming benefits!

In 10 months’ time I will be about to retire and become an OAP – during that time will I really have to keep applying for full-time permanent work when the employers really need someone to give them longer service?

I received the JSA for about two months after I graduated, despite the fact that I was living at home very comfortably.
